Reviews and Awards

"This monumental resource will be useful for scholarly researchers and practitioners in the area of public and international law. Academic libraries and corporate law libraries should consider adding it to their digital collections." - Shannon Graff Hysell, American Reference Books Annual

"It is a fantastic resource." -- Jan Glazewski, Professor at the Institute of Marine & Environmental Law, University of Cape Town

"I was very impressed by MPEPIL. I will certainly refer my students." -- Professor Brice Dickson, Professor of International and Comparative Law and Director of the Human Rights Centre, School of Law, University of Belfast

"The final component for public international law research is commentary. This component is the hardest to acquire electronically. Westlaw, LexisNexis, and HeinOnline offer databases of law review articles, but serious researchers will also demand treatises-classics of international law, and current monographs. The key building block here is the newly available database, Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law, from Oxford University Press. No PIL collection could attain respectability without this work." -- Mary Rumsey, Foreign, Comparative & International Law Librarian, University of Minnesota Law Library
